Notice from PSA Management about a certification number

[swarmee]

This deserves a little more publicity. PSA gives two consecutive Joe Montana RCs PSA 10 GEM MT grades (SMR value $18K each), then recalls them because they are "mechanical errors."

Why anyone trusts this POS company is beyond me.

Add: but they don't recall trimmed cards... or cards from known card trimmer consignors.

Seems they do not mind occasionally admitting to an obvious mistake but they will never admit to being incompetent or corrupt by admitting they graded a bunch of altered cards.

Yep; they take a look at the ones sent back under the Grade Guarantee and re-certify them as unaltered! Oh to be the Emporer with no clothes.

Update:
I spoke with Jackie at PSA today. As suspected a card with my certification number is making the rounds. I have to send my card to Jackie. PSA uses an overnight service through Fedex called Malca-Amit for high dollar items (kind of like having Brinks deliver your card)

I wonder if while it's there they could bump it to a 7.5 or an 8 as a favor for the inconvenience they put me through ??

Pardon my ignorance here. Why do you have to do anything?

Maybe the kickback check on the Montanas didn't clear?

Just sort of kidding, I read the other threads at least up to the point where it was said that the dealer submitting was also very surprised.
